Stream is on by the way

Watching

Very nice introduction of the starting grid atm on stream

Good to see MoE have followed the BBC's lead with impartiality in their staff

EDIT: Also how does this GT0 class work? Am I correct in saying from the tracker that everyone is running the "tweak" but GT1 and GT2 are restricted?

EDIT 2: Ask that on stream if you want :P

Incidentally, if you have any questions you'd like answered on stream, feel free to ask here or in IRC and I'll feed it to the commentators.

i haven't a question, but a suggest.

Is it possible to set the streaming pictures ?
Because when lfs tv director show ranking, we didn't see the 4th, 8th, 12th......

I'll check it here

EDIT: It's fine on the Standard quality stream, but the advert bar for the HQ stream mucks it up, I'll try to size the bottom for the HQ

EDIT2: Sorted :P

Tuned in a few minutes; certainly looks to be an exciting race!

It's better now ;D

Thanks

Not happy about my double stint

Quite nice race so far

Too few cars for 3 classes on such a long circuit. :/

Go to break

Conquest Racing GT0 have a spin. Nice

You'll have that.

LFS is capable of running more cars than are entered, my point is that there's no need to have 3 classes in the same event, and with a reduced entry field it's created a scenario where a 12 hour race is being competed by half a dozen cars per class, that's too few because it makes getting a podium result comparatively meeningless, it's a disservice to the teams who put the effort in to compete.

Endurance events are meant to be difficult, after watching a few hours my feeling was that the race needed more same class cars, and less than half the entries getting trophies... It wasn't 'difficult' enough.

On a secondary note the commentators didn't seem very interested in the race at the time and barely talked about it for the whole time I was tuned in, but i'm going to tune in again shortly and see if they're more enthused by the ontrack action

Good luck with that

Part of that was our leads (the ones who actually are supposed to pay attention) were busy either driving or prepping to drive, and I was busy helping sort out protests.

But yeah, even if it were 30 cars in the same class, it's always going to be hard to bang on for 12 hours even if the racing is immense.

But yeah, I shouted once or twice down to the commentators to keep talking about the race.
